[Paraview] particle traces from point data

[Alex Barrie]

I was able to find this thread that mentions that maybe the input data set
needs to have a DATA_TIME_STEPS key, but I am not sure how to specify this
with the point3d data.

Is there a way just to use whatever mechanism the animate functionality
uses?
